It’s been years since I tried out Decky Loader on the Steam Deck. I love what it brings and enables. Unfortunately I had to reinstall the it every time Steam got an update; which is very often, because I use Steam Beta. I am thinking of installing it again, but it was annoying in the past.

Did this issue got resolved or would I need to use stable Steam if this bothers me?

    I’m mainly interested into showing the ProtonDB rating. But I don’t want to use Stable Steam.

      Just a heads up, LSFG-VK combined with PowerTools can give you a major FPS boost in a bunch of games making them enjoyable not just playable. IMO must haves on the deck.

        And Decky Localsend, so you can transfer files without going out of game mode.

        I actually have a different way of handling file transfer. I use my filemanager with SSH to directly access files like they would be local.

        As for an update to bork the system, I’m not that concerned about it. I am one of the pre-orders and it never borked for me. But good to know that in such a case there is a solution. My only concern with Decky Loader is just that it breaks with frequent updates. It’s unfortunate.

          9 times out of ten rerunning the installer and selecting repair for Decky fixes it.

          The other time it broke was due to SteamGrid crashing whenever I would hover over the Decky icon after hitting thr QAM.
